"What we know about Ndiaga Diagne, suspect in Austin 6th Street mass shooting"

"Austin police on Sunday identified Ndiaga Diagne, 53, as a suspect in the early morning mass shooting on West Sixth Street that left three dead — including Diagne — and 14 injured."

"Diagne, who was fatally shot by police mid-rampage, was a Senegalese native who obtained U.S. citizenship in 2012, authorities said. At the time of the shooting, he was wearing clothing that bore an image of the Iranian flag and the words 'Property of Allah.' "
